I finally registered on Wikipedia in February of 2006. Previously, I had made minor changes to articles; we will see if I undertake more ambitious projects. Feel free to drop me a line (politely, I hope!) on my talk page.
As far as I can tell by the welcome messages, I registered a mere nine minutes before Wikipedia's one millionth user. So close to fame....
I have found that people like to ask about my user name. No, I'm not Harry Potter. And no, I don't live in Arizona. The answer is much more mundane: Back in the '90s, I liked to play a computer game called Heretic, and I rather liked the weapon called the Phoenix Rod. Something about lighting enemies aflame brought out the vicarious pyro in me, I guess.
I tend to prefer making minor changes. Does that make me a WikiGnome? Meh.
I rarely edit these days.
For my own use:
Wikipedia article traffic statistics: http://stats.grok.se/.
These can be found at Wikipedia:Template_messages/User_talk_namespace.
From the article on trousers: "Removing one's trousers in public is, in the main, considered taboo."
Fantastic edit summary: pun indented.
From Serial_comma#Unresolved_ambiguity: "This is ambiguous as it stands, but even if a serial comma were added Mandela could still be mistaken for a demigod."
From Falsifiability#Inductive_categorical_inference: "It is impractical to observe all the swans in the world to verify that they are all white."
Here's an amusing bit of vandalism: [3].
Also: [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] Rickroll Home Taping Hitler Has Only Got One Ball where a catapult takes aim.
Are a waste of time. Mine and yours.
